Europa-Crater_and_Ridges.jpgPwyil Crater - Europa149 visiteThe large Jovian moon Europa may harbor liquid water beneath its frozen crust. Controversy surrounding this idea has been recently fueled by dramatic images of Europa's surface from the Galileo spacecraft.
This alluring color image was produced by combining low resolution color data with higher resolution mosaics recorded during three separate flybys and covers about 120 by 150 miles.
The eerie terrain of grooved linear ridges and crustal plates which seem to have broken apart and rafted into new positions could indicate subsurface water or slush. Blue tints represent relatively old ice surfaces while reddish regions may contain material from more recent internal geological activity.
White splotches are bright material blasted from the young impact crater Pwyll located about 600 miles south (to the right) of this area.
Many believe that large reservoirs of water hold out the tantalizing possibility of organisms living on this dim, distant world.MareKromiumAgo 19, 2026

Uranus_and_clouds-ESA-Hubble~0.jpgUranus, from the HST125 visiteThe strongly inclined cloud-bands are well visible even here.
Studying Uranus "up close" is one of the next goals of space exploration. This is reiterated by Kathleen Mandt, a planetary scientist at the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory.
According to a paper published in Science, she argues that NASA should send a probe exclusively to Uranus relatively quickly. Astronomers have indeed studied Mars extensively, both because of its close proximity to Earth and because it has a solid surface on which it is possible to land. However, Mandt believes this approach is flawed.
Although planets with very dense atmospheres are more difficult to study because they lack a surface on which rovers can walk, studying them is essential to understanding their characteristics. And, according to Mandt, we should also act quickly, given that the next "best launch window" would be 2032, when the alignment between Jupiter and Earth will allow a gravitational slingshot to the planet.MareKromiumAgo 18, 2026

Uranus_clouds_and_rings.jpgUranus' Rings and clouds129 visiteLook carefully at the tilt of Uranus's rotation axis. It actually orbits the Sun, but, as some say, it does so by rolling on its axis.
What could have happened, hundreds of millions or billions of years ago, to shift Uranus's rotation axis this way? Many say: an impact.
Perhaps. But some traces should have remained and be still visible (it would have been an enormous scar). Perhaps the fragmented rings are a little evidence of such a catastrophe (arcs of broken rings that, perhaps, once formed a structure not as majestic as Saturn's, but at least complete)... But the truth is that nobody knows.MareKromiumAgo 18, 2026

Three3GalaxyPairs_Sampaio_960_annotated.jpgTriplet (Credits: Rafael Sampaio)138 visite"Quantum mechanics has thus demolished the classical concepts of solid objects and strictly deterministic laws of nature.
At the subatomic level, the solid material objects of classical physics dissolve into configurations of probability waves, and these configurations ultimately represent not probabilities of things, but rather probabilities of interconnections.
Quantum mechanics reveals a fundamental unity of the universe: it shows that we cannot break the world down into minimal units with independent existence.
However deep we delve into matter, nature does not reveal the presence of any isolated "building block," but rather appears to us as a complex network of relationships between the various parts of the whole.
These relationships always include the observer as an essential element."
(Traduzione)
La meccanica quantistica ha quindi demolito i concetti classici di oggetti solidi e di leggi rigorosamente deterministiche della natura. A livello subatomico, gli oggetti materiali solidi della fisica classica si dissolvono in configurazioni di onde di probabilità e queste configurazioni in definitiva non rappresentano probabilità di cose, ma piuttosto probabilità di interconnessioni.
La meccanica quantistica rivela una fondamentale unità dell'universo: mostra che non possiamo scomporre il mondo in unità minime dotate di esistenza indipendente. Per quanto ci addentriamo nella materia, la natura non ci rivela la presenza di nessun «mattone fondamentale» isolato, ma ci appare piuttosto come una complessa rete di relazioni tra le varie parti del tutto. Queste relazioni includono sempre l'osservatore come elemento essenziale.

Saturnian_Spokes.gifSpokes on Saturn's B-Ring (Image Credit & Copyright: Brad Croslin)119 visiteThis GIF-Movie features a nearly two-hour timelapse of Saturn and its rings looping forwards and backwards. If you look closely, a ghoulish shadow appears and disappears as Saturn’s B-Ring rotates.
Decades of observation with Voyager 2, Cassini, and Hubble show the appearance of Saturn’s spokes varies with the planet’s seasons. Like Earth, Saturn’s spin axis is tilted compared to the plane of its orbit around the Sun.
During Saturn’s Equinox, the rings are less tilted toward the Sun and they receive sunlight at a shallower angle. Saturn’s spokes may be electrically charged dust and ice temporarily levitated above the rings by electromagnetic forces.
It is still uncertain, but the ring plasma and charge environment may be influenced by changing ultraviolet illumination, meteoroid impacts, or indirect effects from interactions between the solar wind and the planet’s magnetic field.MareKromiumAgo 09, 2026

0035-ORIGINAL_NASA_APOLLO_13_-_AS13-61-8865.jpgAS 13-61-8865 - There's "something" in front of the Moon... (Original HR frame, not additionally processed or improved)131 visiteI'll spare you the idle chatter: what's "in front of the Moon"? What actually covers the lunar disk?
What is that silvery sphere (or is it a sphere?) that "occults" the Moon, almost completely eclipsing it?
I have no idea. But if you have any ideas, please write to me and let me know...
p.s.: obviously the frame is 100% authentic.MareKromiumAgo 08, 2026

0030-APOLLO_13_AS_13-60-8622_ANOMALY-2~0.jpgAS 13-60-8622 - Moon from orbit: "The Silver Sphere" (detail of the frame that has been additionally processed, magnified and stretched)144 visiteThe "Sphere", at this level of magnification, becomes a "spheroid", but the point is clear: this "thing" was NOT a simple reflection of something: it was a REAL object of some sort.
NASA can deny or stay silent (as it is usual), but this picture (as well as the others that follow) is 100% AUTHENTIC! And, as I wrote before, I have the Original digital version of it that was sent to me by the Lunar and Planetary Institute (located in Houston - TX), as well as a copy of the original negative.
So, if somebody wants to discuss...I'm ready.MareKromiumAgo 08, 2026
